I like getting rid of strndupa, because it can accidentally blow up the
stack. But replacing it with an on stack array of PATH_MAX also carries
a risk of blowing up the stack because the function calls itself
recursively and now always uses a huge stack allocation for every
iteration. Can we simply use strndup and free (dir) when we are done
instead?

That is better, but note that GNU style is
while (...)

}

Thanks. Note that it is also missing a ChangeLog entry.
Cheers,
